I just checked all of my email.  To the best of my knowledge I have
never applied a patch from Paul Sokolovsky to binutils.  I could be
wrong but I don't see any mail from him to me about this or from me to
him.

It's possible that something was broken in binutils by subsequent
changes.

These days, my binutils releases are fairly standard except for a couple
of my own cygwin-specific changes which were not accepted by the
binutils maintainers.
